In a suit brought by former managers of Dunkin' Donuts claiming they were improperly denied overtime pay in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. section 207(a)(1), the district court's rejection of the magistrate judge's recommendation and grant of summary judgment to the defendant employees is vacated and remanded for further proceedings where material factual disputes remain concerning the exemption's applicability to plaintiffs.
